Lazing In Shadows  ( Naviarhaiku 504 )

Lazing in shadows,
Conceding the drawing room
to moonrays

Natsume Seibi (1749-1816) was the son of a wealthy Edo rice broker and was acquainted with a number of other famous poets, including Oshima Ryota and Kobayashi Issa. In addition to his poetry, Seibi left behind a number of fine examples of haikai prose.

Lazing & conceding (naviarhaiku504)

Lazing in shadows,
Conceding the drawing room
to moonrays
-------------------

When I thought about this haiku, the 'drawing room' made me think  about the place I make music, my music room which I call the blue room as its painted blue.  But as it happens I'm shortly leaving this room so my partner can put her easel up in here and paint where the light (south facing room) is better and I'm moving my music stuff to the north facing side of the house - where I can make music in the gloom!    So this haiku to me seems to sum up my move to a different room in the house, perhaps a change of room will hopefully help my creativity!?

More about this haiku....

#4196 92.50% 340 left): Jun. 10, 2025: And softly make a rosy peace (again, William Butler Yeats from May 22, 2025) 

So gently does the mind risk forgetting to embrace the rosy peace of dawn.

In “and softly make a rosy peace,” Chair House blends into the morning’s pale light, painting tranquility in soft sonic hues. A dewy, lingering touch evokes the scent of petals, kindling a quiet celebration within. On the drizzly dawn of 250518, this improvisation strikes the perfect balance of calm and tender nostalgia.
